A state-of-the-art scanner, which will allow doctors to diagnose young patients quicker than ever before, has arrived at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Kids with cancer, epilepsy, painful injuries or neuro-disabilities will all benefit from the new £800,000 SPECT CT scanner.

The scanner was funded by members of the public and businesses across the region through the hospital’s dedicated charity. Dan Walker’s celebrity golf day, which Hamnett Wealth take part in every year, contributed a further £50,000.

SPECT CT is a ‘dual-imaging’ scanner, meaning radiologists will be able to take standard CT images and nuclear scans at once, providing more certainty for doctors and meaning more tailored treatment.

We have been proud supporters of the Children’s Hospital Charity for a number of years and Dan Walker’s Golf day, which takes place annually at Hallamshire Golf Club, has now raised a staggering £182,000 since the first event back in 2014.
